The Tweedsmuir Top is a simple easy sew top which can be made using any fabric or an existing large adult shirt (environmentally friendly upcycle!) and has an option to add a ruffle.
Highlights include:
No buttonholes or zippers to do!
You can get really creative using different fabrics for ruffles and trimmings (adding Liberty print bias binding or ruffle is a favourite)
Full tutorial with step-by-step instructions, photos and illustrations
Sizes XS (US0/UK4/EU32) to 3XL (US26/UK30/EU58)
Environmentally friendly option to use an existing adult shirt
Includes a one page Quick Guide
PDF US Letter/A4 Print at Home Pattern plus option for copy shop A1 and 36” printing
Confident Beginner level - nothing is too difficult but you can choose the easier options (such as using a shirt and it’s existing hem and using shop bought bias binding) until you feel more confident
Thrift shops are great for picking up a good quality but inexpensive redundant shirts.
We recommend a 17”, 18” or 19” collar shirt (regular fit not slim fit).
We recommend taking the pattern with you if you go thrift shop hunting to check the chest size is wide enough.
For sizes L+ you will probably need to use other fabric to widen the shirt. Page 16 of the instructions show how you can do this.
